The study found that “the dental health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids of marine and plant origin have been found to have strong anti-bacterial activity against a range of oral pathogens and “may include anti-bacterial effects, extending the benefits beyond inflammation.” The doctors involved in the study said that they planned to conduct further studies needed to prove that omega-3s acids work to benefit oral health.
